We have a unique blend of legal services coupled with aggressive legal representation.

National Security Law

National security law deals with the complexities of doing business with the federal government in the intelligence, national defense and homeland security arenas. Henault & Sysko Chartered helps government employees as well as government contractors and their employees navigate through these myriad of complexities by offering a wide range of services to assist clients in this narrow, highly focused and intense area of the law.

Individuals in military service or who work in certain government agencies, as well as employees of private companies who contract with the government to perform services, may necessarily come into contact with sensitive information related to national security. Anyone in such a position may be required to get and keep a security clearance for the duration of their work in or with that agency.
